Logodaj Winery

The Logodaj Winery was founded in 1994 and is located in the heart of the picturesque Struma Valley. It is the sunniest and hottest part of Bulgaria, with a rich history and long traditions in wine production. The warm sun rays and the terrain contribute significantly to the grape harvest. The craftsmanship of the winemakers has been known for many years. Broad-leaved Melnik vine and early Melnik vine are grape varieties that are grown only in this part of the world along the Struma valley.

A little more than 10 years ago there was a revelation: the future of Bulgarian viticulture had to follow a new oenological path, in search of absolute quality and full harmony. To achieve this goal, the right place, the right time and the best people were needed. This is where the idea of the LOGODAY VINEYARD was born, a place of infinite potential, cultivated with wisdom and experience of its "artists", who want to create a new masterpiece with every vintage.

The Logodaj Winery is proud to work under the advice of the world-famous oenologist Riccardo Cotarella, who strictly follows his innovative technologies to create noble and harmonious wines.

Logodaj is a new and modern winery whose concept is to create delicious, multi-layered and complex wines with rich and concentrated fertility and harmony.

The company attaches great importance to the development and recognition of unique Bulgarian grape varieties all over the world.

The production depends on the type of vintage, the manual harvest is only done when the grapes are fully ripe. The grapes from each vineyard are fermented separately, taking into account a unique and valuable terroir.

Thanks to the men and women who put their hearts, heads and souls into their work throughout the year. The results are impressive, but even more evident in a fine glass of wine!
